Apologies for cross posting
 
Dear all

 

We are looking for participants for a study into the experiences of disabled students studying English or Creative Writing and would be grateful if you would forward this email to students who may be interested.   If you are able to display a poster then please email me off list as the attachment is too large for posting.

 

This is a subject specific study and we are not seeking feedback on individual universities.   Our main aim is to produce guidance for staff teaching English and Creative Writing on how to develop inclusive practices in teaching, learning and assessment.  

 

The project consists of the following:

 

  1. Students will be invited to complete an online questionnaire (a downloadable version is also available from the project website).
  2. Those who express an interest will be asked to participate in a detailed face-to-face or phone interview.
  3. These interviews will form the basis of a series of anonymised case studies for publication in a written report and on a section of the English Subject Centre's website.  
  4. A Moodle website has been created for students to share their experiences with others around the country

To complete the questionnaire or access the Moodle website, students should go to:

If an alternative format is required then please email us at:

You can also use this address should you have any questions about the project.

 

As an incentive for completion, all students who return the questionnaire will be entered into a draw for £50 of book tokens.   Those participating in the interviews will also receive a £10 book token.

 

Thank you for your help.
